TKD Student up for big scholarship

Let me preface this by saying I hope I am posting this in the right area and that this is okay. If not, Moderators, I will hold no grudge if it is moved or removed.

The senior student in my dojang, Steve Eccleston, is in the running for a very large scholarship to my old college WV Wesleyan College. Out of thousands of applicants, he is now in the top 12. For better or worse, 1/3 of the final judgment comes down to an online vote. Thus, I am (shamelessly) asking for fellow martial artists to support my student by voting for him at: WV Scholar Competition
Steve has been training with me for about four years, and he is a great guy who has endured a lot, but you would never know it if you met him. His parents divorced when he was younger, and this past fall, his mother passed away unexpectedly. Instead of being woebegone, Steve has applied himself harder in school, is active in show choir, is a member of the student counsel, and is preparing for his 1st Dan Test. He wants to be a cardiovascular surgeon and with the right opportunity, I think he could. Please go to the site and vote for Steve Eccleston. It will send an email to you to confirm your vote which is required for it to count. Also, please pass it on. This is Steve's best shot for going to a good college. The deadline for votes is 5/30/08

My most sincere thanks,
